I'm sorry for the offtopic, but on a page that's supposed to get people involved, shouldn't you at least mind the difference between its and it's ? In the very first paragraph it goes wrong already. I'm not a native English speaker, but these mistakes always jump out for some reason.

Thank you for the find, we will fix it!
Edit: Ah the niceness of asynchronous javascript. It returns an error (I can see it in the JS console) but the page never displays that to me. Good ol' page reloads wouldn't have done that . In any case, the issue is my header modifying add-on. It injects "'\ into the x-forwarded-for header, causing your application to error. You probably have an sql injection in your code somewhere.
If you want to track the issue down, my IP is 83.161.210.237 or 2001:980:1f44::/48 if you support IPv6. Timestamp around 17:51 UTC+2.
Doesn't work at all without cookies. Meaning, it doesn't work, and doesn't tell you why. If you're targeting people who are looking for an alternative to the major search engines, there's a better-than-average chance that they'll have cookies disabled.
I was a little surprised that they haven't included anything about spam or gamification. One core advantage of pagerank is that it's (relatively) hard to get links from high-authority websites. I can't force whithouse.gov or cnn.com to link to me. If you rely on time-spent-on-page from millions of users and treat everyone equally, how to you stop spammers from faking millions of hours spent reading their content usin…
This algorightm might highly impact discoverability. It gives mover visibility to already popular websites making them even popular, while not very well known websites will never be discovered because very few people spend time on them. Also I don't like the idea of having to install a plugin on my browser so that the urls I visit and how much time I spent on them is tracked, even if suposedly my identity is never tr…
Full disclosure: I work at Google (though not on web search).
Your search actually sucks, perhaps because your index is woefully inadequate. How many pages are in it? Maybe you should use common crawl?

Well that was a quick response, at least that's a positive thing :). I installed the add-on. Testing the search engine, searches seem to take forever. It keeps displaying the spinning icon in the orange square next to my query. Edit: Ah the niceness of asynchronous javascript.

I had a similar idea in college which was to take the actual traffic for pages into account for search ranking (this was before Google bought whatever Analytics had been called before, I can't remember.) I had thought of it as a server side app which would benefit the hosts while feeding the search engine traffic data. After talking with friends we explored the idea of a user side traffic tracking app as a way to fee…
Why not a browser add-on or extension?
